Danger In Mobile PhoneCommunication Towers

The towers are mushrooming everywhere in Botswana. They have become a source of income for many people who are lucky enough to provide land for the erection of the towers. However, studies have shown that even at low levels, the radiation from the towers can damage cell tissue and DNA. The radiation has been linked to brain tumours, cancer, suppressed immune function, depression, miscarriage, Alzheimer's disease and serious illnesses.

The studies indicate that children are at the greatest risk from the radiation due to their thinner skulls and rapid rate of growth. Also at greater risk are the elderly, the frail and pregnant women.
